BIG NEWS: Empower to Acquire Petal I am thrilled to share that Empower has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Petal, a consumer credit card and financial technology company. This strategic move marks a major milestone in our mission to revolutionize access to fair credit around the world. With over 45 million Americans and billions more globally experiencing credit insecurity, Empower’s acquisition of Petal is vital and timely, leveraging our combined resources to provide better, more meaningful solutions. Justin Ammerlaan and I created Empower to make credit more equitable and inclusive and shape a world where financial opportunity could be available to anyone. Through our real-time cash flow underwriting and product innovation, we see a side of people that other lenders don’t care to. We see the work they’re putting in and what they’re working towards. We see where they are today, not where they were before. We’ve created a new, unique system of lending that backs human endeavor and credits the working – because we believe they’re good for it. With Petal, we take a giant leap forward in our vision to underwrite the next billion people in the world. Petal has long been recognized for its leadership in democratizing credit. Jason Rosen, Petal Co-Founder, and his team opened access to market-leading credit cards for individuals who were previously shut out of the system, enabling them to use their open banking data to qualify for credit and establish credit history. To date, the company and its banking partner, WebBank, have underwritten nearly 400,000 people for Petal cards. I’ve been impressed by the commitment and ingenuity across the Petal org, and I’m confident that together we’ll create greater value for far more people. To the Petal team, welcome. I can’t wait to start this adventure with you. https://lnkd.in/eHhjrszF

All 92 employees bring something unique to Empower and we think they deserve all the recognition. Check out some fun facts about our amazing crew below. (Side note: we didn’t have enough space to include some of their guilty pleasures like buying too much yarn or watching Japanese restaurant ASMR cooking videos. It’s safe to say we have a lot of fun at our offsites). #lifeatempower #fintech #inc #hiring
